Heat weapons for technies
All sorts of alien mutagen chemicals that turn lifeforms into other lifeforms
Upgrade your charged automatons into Tripods, and maybe drive one!

How could the aliens be repulsed? Same old disease as in the original story? Can Arcanum's scientists reverse-engineer enough of the alien technology to fight back on even terms? Some old magickal artifact?...

For the past 5 days I've been playing Fallout 4 non-stop, but still one question remains unanswered: when will it be Arcanum's turn? Every now and then I've toyed with an idea for an arcanum sequel. What if the great war happened in the land of Arcanum? Maybe Gilbert Bates or Cedric Appleby had something to do with it. Maybe nuclear fission was the latest and greatest invention...

It takes place a few years after Arcanum. A brilliant technologist discovered some lost technology from Vendigroth and mixed it with his own theories to create a time machine. Magicians or people who think the technology is dangerous come to destroy it and as they do it it warps your character along with some of the current day people there back in time to the Age of Legends. When it sends...

The guy talking said it's possible to recreate Torment and Baldur's Gate in this editor (he actually challenged people to do it when editor comes out).
Features turn based combat, supports up to 6 party members (so far), coop multiplayer and so on.
Apparently it's quite easy and fast, high chance that it'll be possible to change some rules and mechanics,...

But I was wondering if you guys had any personal/lore based conclusions as to what a prequel/sequel might entail, or perhaps what the story should be if anyone were to make a 'spiritual successor'?

- Could a spiritual successor be in a new land?
- Could there be drastic changes to the skills, traits, tech and magick?
- Could there be less or more races without much of a disheartening?
- Could it be in a different time period all...

I am new to this forum, but I have known its extistens for a while. I want to share some music in the spirit of arcanum and hope to get some comments!

What do you think of when you hear the tracks?
Is it in conflict with the mood of Arcanum anyhow? (this might be positive or negative)
Would you like a different themed Arcanum 2, and therefore a different tune in the music?

I wonder can't the same be done with arcanum by using a kickstarter project?
Maybe I am overly optimistic (and kinda clueless), but it could really succeed.

Facts:
I will not charge any money whatsoever for the game. It will be made for fun and amusement.

I will not take credit for the ideas of Arcanum. I will acknowledge Arcanum as the intellectual property of Sierra/Troika.

I won't use original game files. I will redraw characters/items/backgrounds in a playful 2D cartoon style, add my own voiceovers and dialog. It will loosely follow the...

I'm wondering if anybody remembers some great ideas from this subforum, since there is a lot of topics with "some ideas", it will be nice to get some list with the best of them. It could be also some ideas that were impossible to implement in original Arcanum because of technical limitations of its engine.

Do you remember any? If yes, please post link to that topic here and I'll add it into list.
